' Wrote:Wrong. All it takes is to literally destroy Malta's surface with nuclear/anti-matter bombardment, together with the cardamine and outcast population, and turn it into nuclear wasteland. That is the most cost-effective solution, taking into account that Malta cannot be colonized due to cardamine-"poisoned" atmosphere, and cardamine can pose a large threat to Gallia as well.
Scenario where each cardi-dependant faction comes to Alpha to fight for outcasts might work only in case Outcasts will know that Gallics are coming. Then, possibly, they will have time to "Call to Arms". But even then, how much time does it takes, inRP, to give a message to other factions, persuade them in the seriousness of the threat, and then reach Omicron Alpha through jumphole network? Especially since Discovery introduces JumpDrives, which may help Gallics greatly.
As for outcast war fighting capability - Omicron Alpha is, mainly, an open space. Gallia, due to numerical and technological superiority, will have huge, tremendous advantage.
In a 3D dimension, having numerical superiority and best long-strike capabilities among all humans will result in the extreme superiority in firepower, which then will result in even higher ratio of Outcast : Gallia deaths.
Thats of course if we use "Logic" in it, which is not necessary, since it's Freelancer we're talking about.
i hope you do realize that anything that will endanger Malta will make the nomads move in?
Let me remind you of that planet in Omicron Minor that was kersploded even while two of the mightiest non-house forces in sirius was fighting to protect it.
And i think we all know, that gallians have NO way to counter a large nomnom revenge attack.
And it would definetively make liberty and ALL other houses move as MILLIONS of people would die in vain.
Without the cardamine of Malta, millions, maybe billions would die sirius wide within two weeks from withdrawal. Drug heads or not, such deathtolls would make any nation move and possible turn all the houses + nomnoms against gallia litterally "over night"....
